AUTOMATIC EGG BOILER.

- Application filed July 18, 1927, serial No. 206,758, and in GermanySeptember 16, 1926'.

This invention relates to an apparatus for boiling eggs. The novelty ofthe invent-ion consists in that the eggs to be boiled are automaticallylifted out of the water after a certain. time. This is obtained bymaking a cylinder, closed at the top end on which the eggs to be boiledare accommodated, rise from the water bythe action of the generatedsteam, .An embodiment of the invention is shown, by way of exampile, inthe accompanying drawings in whic Fig. 1 shows the automatic egg-boilerin cross section;

Fig. 2 shows the cylinder in elevation. The egg-boiler consists of acylinder a havin a steam-dome b and of a pot a. The cylin or a whichfits into the pot c with little clearance is open at the bottom end. Onthe m steam-dome f an air outlet valve d is arranged, said dome beingsurrounded by a wire-gauze 6, designed to accommodate the fi hioperation is as follows The eggs f tobe boiled are placed around thesteam-dome (Z, whereupon't he cylinder a is inserted into the pot 0which is filled with water to about of the height. To facilitatedescending of cylinder a onto the bottom of the pot the outlet valve dfor the air is opened and closed subsequently.

When the water is boiling steam is generated and collects in the domebso that the c 'linder ascends. As the cylinder rises from t e water toabout hallf its height, the eggs can be boiled only fora certain time.The

duration of the boiling period can be regulated by the water-quantity.

I claim:

An automatic egg-boiler com rising in combination with a pot partly lledwith water, a cylinder open at the bottom'and closed at the top locatedin said pot, a steam dome forming part of the top-plate of said cylinderand around which the eggs are placed, and an air-valve on the top ofsaid cylinder.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

KARL THIELICKE.
